The median load time for home pages of the top 500 US retail websites (as ranked by Alexa) continues to slow down, clocking in at 10 seconds in the latest quarterly study from Radware, covering Spring 2014. That’s 33% longer than the 7.5 seconds from Spring 2013. The top 100 sites are faring even worse: the median site took 10.7 seconds to load. Radware blames large page sizes and a lack of adherence to best practices. Source: Radware
